The Moon didn't just hang in the sky—its gravity heated Earth from within, like a giant furnace. Modeling showed: this heat could have kept the planet molten for up to 500 million years. The composition of the primordial atmosphere depended on tides and oxygen, leaving mysterious traces in Earth's history.
🎯 Earth's magma ocean existed longer than the time from the first dinosaurs to today—nearly half a billion years.
